Table names or numbers?

My OH is a kiwi and from Auckland so we are having landmarks/places in auckland, with a picture and some information on the reverse about the place instead of table numbers. More of a talking point i suppose and ties in her roots.

Names - we are having places we intend to visit on our honeymoon...

Kuramathi

Colombo

Pinnawela

Habaranna

Polonnaruwa

Sigiryia

Dambulla

Kandy

Nuwara Eliya

Mali

I'm a names fan.

We're having Merry Christmas in diff languages ?

We are having names but yet to decide on the theme. It will either be musicals or famous authors.

*makes mental note of where il be heading on your honeymoon lol*

Wer having table names, after sweet shop sweets or cupcake flavours (theres a theme here lol)

Were having "our" movies - as its a movie themed wedding d'oh!

American Beauty

Return To Me

Serendipity

Stardust

Say ANything

You get the jist!

Were having names also, were naming our tables of streets of New York - we have a Pink & Purple colour with a New York theme! x

I think the problem is not having a theme for our day.

Ours is a water theme so we're having rivers that my other half has paddled on (he kayaks) and seas/oceans that I have paddled in! He thinks it's cheesy, which maybe it is but I still like the idea.

We're having names, Spurs players from the current squad as OH loves them probably more than he loves me (or at least very nearly!). I am a fan too (no choice really, 7 years with OH turned me) so I quite like the idea. Plus I picked most of the other things so it's only fair x

We are having different flavours of tea for our table names - obviously we are having a tea party theme.

Woodlander Forevermore

Woodlander Fiatuno

Louaida

Miss Pro-Cocious

Gina

Poseidon

Beluga

Rupert Bear

Which are all names of my horses ? We might even stick a little photo of the relevant horse next to the name on each table/the seating planner!

Our theme is red roses, so we are naming our tables after the different types of rose.

We dont have a theme and have chosen names that mean something to us and out guests, so, we have gone for pub names!!

we both love our real ale and spend a fair bit of time with friends in pubs so we are using the names of our favourite pubs or pubs that have good memories for us!

also our fiends will be able to reminisce looking at all the names! te he he!

We're having letters!

Top table we have got wooden letters spelling out Mr & Mrs and then the other six tables will all have one letter which spells out H2B (and my new) surname!

We are getting married at a venue in the New Forest so were going to name the tables after different trees that you find in the New Forest - then if we're short we'll add some of the animals too.

Stops people thinking that table 1 is more important than table 5 even though they're all equally high up - or low down - the priority list.

The important people are on the top table. Everyone else is equal. Period.

Hehe Like me... I struggled for ages.. but you know the one thing we do the most (besides eating and sleeping!!) is drinking.. Im a complete Wino... so our table names are going to be drinks / wine that we love..

I have a few in mind so far, not sure if our tables are 8s or 10s yet but will decide soon !

Must remember to book extra ticket for flow...

I think we're leaning towards names as some of our families are 'touchy' and would probably complain that they're on table 4 when "so-and-so, who's only a cousin, is on table 2"...

We have an autumnal theme, but I can't think of any names connected to that, so we're thinking of Waterfalls - we went on our first date to Ingleton round the waterfall walk and there's plenty waterfalls around that area to choose from.

Were having names of national trust landmarks...we have some beautiful places in Northern Ireland and going to place people at tables who live closest to that landmark.

Names for us too - we're picking the first places we went out to together. Some of them are a bit random but it makes us laugh!

If you don't have a theme you could name them after the people on the table.

So a group of friends could be called "The Cheeky Chums Table", his family "The Superb Smiths" yours "The Juicy Jones'" the distant family "The Rocking Relatives"

etc etc

We're having numbers - I really can't imagine anyone getting uppity over it but if they do, then I shall let them sulk! We're sitting fairly centrally so they'll all get a decent view anyway.

Hi

We are going for names too, but as we don't really have a theme, other than colours are baby pink and invory, wereally did not know what to call the tables.

So we are having gold fish bowls as the centre peices, we have decided to name the tables after flowers that are pink in April and then in the bowl make a display with that flower.

For example the table name is Rose and in the bowl will be light pink roses ect....

HTH

Keilxxxx

snap we are doing the same

We are going with titles more than names, each table will be a wedding tradition with a definition/origin on the other side just for info

We will have 4 tables (at minute, tho it may increase) so thought bout the Something Old table, the Something New table, the Something Borrowed and the Something Blue table with explanations on but i think i prefer the Throwing Bouquet table, the Chimney Sweep table, Throwing Garter table and the Carry Over Threshold table lol

Would not want to be on the "something old" table i am struggling enough with turning 30!

Our tables will be named, were orginally going to be different types of butterflies. Our theme is Air. But now we're having famous planes, picture one side and info the next.

We're having colours rather than names or numbers. Ivory for the top table, then red, blue, green, pink and yellow. Centrepieces kind of give it away with this so no explanation needed, but just to make sure we'll have place cards printed on the correct colour card.

Such lovely and some very original ideas. I'd love to do names but like Cricket Bride I think we're having numbers. I can't think of names for all 23 of our tables so it's tough really. We considered places around Sheffield where we first met and lived but too much bother and Sheffield doesn't have 23 interesting places to choose from anyway!

xx

We're thinking of having good luck charms such as a lucky horseshoe, four leaf clover, a black cat etc...

We're having names, these relate to cornwall as that's where we've holiday'd for the last 7 years!!

So things like Port Quin (where he proposed)

port Isacc

Polzeath

Haryln Bay

They all mean something to us.
